As well as being a shaper of the stuff of technology, I also fence, teach fencing and occasionally do heavy weapons combat in the Society for Creative Anachronism , pound on a darabuka (it's a drum)-- I'm the lead drummer for a Middle Eastern dance/folk troupe, construct various ethnic musical instruments, work on my house, and occasionally try to figure out metaphysics and economics (I don't yet know which is more inscrutable). I am an informational teleologist by creed and mellow by nature.
